S1/Ep 5- And Then the Dog Died
from Stacks of Life · host Allison from Georgia with her besties, Jessica and Allie from Colorado
This episode brings together grief, boundaries, co‑parenting after divorce, Mother’s Day sweetness, and the midlife chaos that somehow becomes comedy when Jessica, Allie, and Allison are together!Allie opens up about the heartbreaking decision to put her dog to sleep, the emotional ripple effects with her ex, and the moment she protected her peace by saying no to a family dinner she didn’t want to attend. What unfolds is a grounded, honest conversation about boundaries — why kindness doesn’t mean over‑giving, why adult kids struggle with changing family dynamics, and how grief and guilt show up in a post‑divorce system.Then things lighten up with a funny detour into Allison’s birthday gift gone wrong: on steroids. The trio also shares a tender Mother’s Day chat, celebrating the small rituals — including Krispy Kreme donuts — that make the day feel special.A relatable, heartfelt episode for anyone navigating divorce, shifting family roles, grief, or the slow, steady work of becoming a more boundaried version of yourself.
